Vaccine Could Be Used To Treat Heroin Addicts
海洛英毒品疫苗
Scientists have developed an experimental vaccine to treat individuals addicted to the drug heroin . Such a treatment would be a major step forward for both public health and safety.
科學家已經發展出一種實驗疫苗,用來治療對海洛英毒品上癮的人。這種治療使公共衛生與安全往前邁了一大步。
An estimated 20 million people around the world are addicted to heroin and other opiate drugs -- all products of the opium poppy plant. Their drug dependency and use of unclean needles puts heroin users at risk of a number of diseases.
全世界估計有兩千萬人對海洛英以及其他鴉片毒品上穩,這些毒品都是嬰粟的產品。毒品上癮與使用不乾淨的針頭讓海洛英使用者身陷許多疾病的危險之中。
It is difficult to keep heroin addicts away from the drug even after they have received treatment to help them end their dependency. But the experimental vaccine may prevent addiction even if a user is offered the drug after leaving a treatment center.
海洛英上癮者已經接受治療戒除毒癮之後,要他們遠離毒品仍是非常困難的事情。但就算使用者在離開治療中心之後繼續吸毒,實驗疫苗也能阻止癮頭。
He warns that a heroin vaccine is not a complete cure. He says it would have to be used as part of a treatment program that also helps drug addicts change their behavior.
